An Ancient Magma Ocean Once Covered the Moon, India’s Pragyan Lunar Rover Reveals

A year ago, India’s Pragyan rover began a nine Earth-day-long trek across a mysterious region of the Moon.

The robotic explorer encountered both smooth terrain as well as places filled with boulders likely flung out from craters. Despite this variety, the lunar dirt it observed at 23 different stops along its path was actually uniform in composition. When Pragyan probed the ingredients of this surface material, called regolith, it wound up boosting the idea that the Moon once harbored a subterranean magma ocean.

The findings appear in a new study published Wednesday in the journal Nature.

The Creator of ‘Fable’ Is Back For a Bizarre, But Ambitious New Strategy Game

Once upon a time, the name Peter Molyneux was known far and wide throughout the video game industry. As the creator of Fable, Black and White, and Dungeon Keeper, Molyneux left his mark on video games at large, but his reputation has also grown in other ways. The creator is notorious for overpromising and underdelivering on his games, and for the last decade, he’s been surprisingly quiet. But now, Molyneux is back with a brand new game with the same kind of lofty ambitions he’s known for. Masters of Albion is an upcoming strategy god game that looks like it blends elements of nearly everything Molyneux has done before.

Masters of Albion fills three different genres all at once — strategy, god game, and RPG. As the godlike ruler of a small town, during the day you need to plan your city by building houses, constructing shops, managing residents, facilitating improvement, and everything you might expect out of a city builder. Once night falls, however, hordes of the undead besiege your city, and it’s up to your godly powers and a designated hero to keep the peace. You can either buff and support your hero with powers or take direct control of them in action RPG combat.
